Step 5 -1500 calories

Full Member

I rarely bother with a breakfast, I know its bad. I wonder if I could do this plan, have the shake for dinner then have the meal in the evening thus lowering the calories. Then if I take a multi vitamin, im doing ok that way?

What do you think? :flirt2:

Course i would have to tell a white lie to my consellor but if im losing weight who will know?

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off of the goal.We would accomplish more things if we did not think of them as impossible.

Yeah ive just looked through the 1500 recipes and they look really nice (and cheap!), so thats good...even if I adapt them slightly. The kids would enjoy eating that too which is good. I reckon if i work out a weeks menu and stick to it, I will save money from having to ad lib dinner every day xx

You could also join the 1000-maintenance section if you wanted to and start a thread in there. Some of us post our food from time to time to stay accountable.

I'm not convinced you still need a pack when you are on 1500. I'd recommend though getting a program to count your calories, and keep an eye on your carb/fat/protein %.

There's a great program called Perfect Diet Tracker - info in the 1000-maintenance section. It does cost £35 but then you have it for life. You can just do a 7 day free trial so if you don't want to spend any money, just spend a week planning lots of different meals

That said, I'm not sure on the best way for you to transition from where you are now to 1500. If I were you, I'd speak to your CDC and be up front. I'm sure you won't be the first person to be in this situation, and hopefully she'll be able to help you.

Just because I want to eat, doesn't mean I have to.

Thankyou Laura, I think the aspects of CD that are so important to me is the support of you guys and also from my CDC. I'm all at sixes and sevens right now so probably need to sleep on it and gather info. Thanks for the links I will take a look xx

There's some great CDCs out there and if yours is one, I'm sure she'll support you. At the end of the day, CD is a business for them and if they are savvy enough, they'll realise you will refer friends etc interested in the program/ go back to her if you can start the program in full again.

See what she can offer and I agree the forum is the best.
